"So much happened tonight. Unbelievably, every officer I met tonight has received a layoff notice, 44 total....Just got dropped off at home. My officer has four more hours of work to do, including tagging blood-soaked clothing. ...Served Lansing for 8 years. Has three kids, husband is also an officer. Due to budget cuts she will be unemployed soon."

She continued: "As I got out of the car, another violent crime report came over the radio. Can we really afford to lose these officers? "
